Thanks for the input, I appreciate it.
Yes, everything is away from the operating system on a separate drive and dyndolod is outside of any vortex managed directory in it's own directory. The output directories are under DynDOLODS main directory away from everything.
I installed:
1st - DynDOLOD Resources SE 3.00 Alpha-28
2nd - DynDOLOD DLL SE -Scripts 2.82.3
3rd - DynDOLOD DLL SE-SKSE Plugin Skyrim Special Edition 1.6.353
I am missing the texgenoutput
vortex thought it was the same file (mod) as the output and did not install it and just renamed it and created a virtual file for it. blech.
How strange. Well, I am sure I messed up somehow so I will give it another go. I did read the install guide and thought I nailed it, but clearly I have made a mistake, no worries ever onward!
Thanks again.
